OPERATION (for I/O's)

(please allow 2-4 minutes to complete download)

1.)  The Air-Dock floats in the water because internal air cha*mbers at the perimeter remain inflated.  It is held in place by four ropes connected to the dock, to anchors, or to a PVC frame device.

3.)  The internal air chambers align the Air-Dock to your boat and help to stop it's forward motion. 

4.)  Once aligned, attach a bow rope to the front lifting ring of your boat.  If you are mooring in rough water, also attach mooring lines to the two back lifting rings of your boat.  This will take the "tugging" load off of the other rope connections to the Air-Dock.

5.)  Next, run the blower until the boat is raised completely out of the water.  Adjust the air supply to the three main air chambers to level your boat. 

6.)  To lower your boat, simply open the three air valves and the boat will lower itself in approximately four minutes.

7.)  Be sure to raise the outdrive unit to the "trailer"  position.  

IMPORTANT:  do not raise stern more than 5 inches and front more than 2 inches.

AC blower - 110 volts 

The Air-Dock boat lift is available with a 110 volt ac electric blower.  if you do not have 110 volt AC power available at your dock, you can use a battery inverter (700 continuous watts min.) to operate the standard blower from your boat battery. 

Inflation times vary from 3 minutes to 12 minutes depending on size of boat and Air-Dock.
